Chapter 4: Snuffing Out a Shadow
It has been a day after the meeting, it is early morning; the air is crisp and cool, the sun just rearing above the brightening sky which shows hues of orange and red. For the clans of Konoha, this would be a day long remembered as they would bring down a foe that dared undermine the integrity and safety of Konoha. For Naruto or Oni this would be a day remembered for taking his plans to the next step. Speaking of our little Shinigami, he was currently covered by shadows taking a power nap near Danzo's office. After mapping out the base, he sent a clone which notified the Hokage and Sai; a map was made and given to each of the squads. Suddenly, Naruto is awaked by Danzo cursing and breaking things in his office.
"Heh, Danzo must have just realized that his advisors were executed and Sai was not his to control anymore."
The office door bursts open in a shower of toothpicks and a royally pissed Danzo stomps out of the room. One of his agents comes up to greet him but gets backhanded in the face and slams onto the wall knocking the agent out. As Danzo goes further into his base, Naruto takes this opportunity and makes a clone then uses the knocked out agents clothing and mask to see what Danzo wanted.
"Orders boss?" The clone whispers.
"Find out what Danzo wants and do as told, I will be following behind."
The clone nods and runs off while Naruto follows in the shadows, the fighting would soon begin.
With Danzo
Danzo arrives in his meeting room which has a large table in the center of the spacious room. Around the table are eight chairs, just enough for Danzo, the advisors, and the six civilian council members. On the table were maps of Konoha with red circles denoting the entrances and exits to the base; also on here was a map of the Elemental Nations. On the walls were maps of each village, small and large; Konoha, Kumo, Iwa, Kiri, Suna, Taki, Iron, et cetera. All the maps were heavily detailed and showed possible entrances to them so that missions could be done without alerting guards. Danzo spots on of his agents walk by and calls.
"Agent 132 front and center!"
The agent, Naruto's clone, bows and dons an emotionless voice "Your orders Danzo-sama?"
"Go to my office and destroy everything, experiment notes, training notes, everything."
"As you wish Danzo-sama." The clone walks to his destination but he was not going to do as told, he would seal them up for later use.
Outside - Hokage Tower
The clan heads and some of their best members were gathered at the base of the Hokage Tower waiting for Sai to escort them. The Sandaime was currently in his office protected by his ANBU as well as Jiraiya and Tsuande. Sai soon appears making everyone go silent, making some ink clones to help the former ROOT agent begins.
"Either I or my clones will be taking you to one of the entrances to the ROOT base. I deactivated the seals in each so passage will be easy but the base is usually heavily guarded. Some of these will be your own clan members so I know the hesitation some of you will make to kill."
Sai pauses to let them digest that then continues.
"I see you are all ready, Hiashi I will escort you to an entrance near the academy; the rest of the clan heads please follow my clones."
Everyone nods and does as told; the fighting would soon begin. The clan heads and their squad were led to separate entrances; the stadium, an abandoned warehouse in the Red Light District, a secret entrance near the Kage Tower, one near the Hyuga compound, and one on the outskirts of the Uchiha compound. Once they reached the entrance, they used their microphones which were in their ears.
"Hyuga in position"
"Inuzuka in position"
"Uchiha in position."
"Yamanka in position."
"Aburame in position."
"Akimichi in position."
"Nara in position."
Sai's voice comes on, "Good, we commence attack in 3…2…1. ATTACK!"
Simultaneously, each clan squad entered the base catching many off guard. The sound of steel meeting steel is heard as well as the explosions of jutsu. The base shook at times and it was this that caught Danzo off guard.
With Danzo
Danzo was sitting in one of his chairs mulling over his failures when the base suddenly shook followed by the screams of the dying and injured. Cursing, he was about to get up when felt a presence behind him.
"Hello Danzo, do you remember me?"
"You're that voice from before...who are you!"
Naruto chuckles "That would be telling."
Danzo growls and spins around hoping to land a punch but hits nothing but air. As Danzo looks for the intruder, he fails to realize Naruto appear behind him thanks to his shadow. Danzo lurches forward as a throwing knife is plunged into the back of his skull but Naruto gains a shock when Danzo turns to wood and collapses to the floor.
"Wood Clone!"
Naruto turns just in time while raising his shadow blades which block Danzo's cane sword. After making his eyes flash red for intimidation, Naruto lifts his hands which parry Danzo's blade then goes in for a couple stabs and bifurcating slashes. Danzo expertly dodges these and jumps over the slashes making Naruto slightly angry but he keeps his emotions in check. As Danzo was about to retaliate, Naruto unsealed a large amount of senbon and threw some at the War Hawk while throwing some in the air which took out the lights.
Danzo managed to dodge the senbon but when the room went pitch black, he had flashbacks to the day in the office; the War Hawk was afraid. All of a sudden a demonic lullaby sang out in the room.
"One, Two, Shinigami's coming for you. Three, four, to harvest your soul. Five, six, add some blood to the mix."
Danzo grunts in pain as he feels himself stabbed in multiple places on his body; he tries to find the source of the song but cannot see through the cavern like darkness.
"Seven, eight, death is your fate." Danzo tries to dodge or block any incoming attack but it proves useless and he gets stabbed and slashed multiple times.
"Nine, Ten, let's play again!"
Right as Naruto was going to go in for the killing blow Danzo had enough and finally blew his top.
"YOUR ANTICS DON'T SCARE ME! Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees!"
The ground starts to shake and multiple trees come to life and grow up to the top of the base and continue onward which makes the ceiling cave in adding extra danger to the jutsu. Outside, the town square in Konoha suddenly shakes making people run for their lives. As soon as they got a certain distance away, the jutsu burst and continued to grow but stopped when five feet into the air. Some homes and businesses were damaged but luckily no lives were lost.
Back at the base, Naruto dodged, slashed and used exploding tags to get rid of the falling debris as well as any trees that came his way. Danzo used this distraction to land a hit on Naruto which made him slam into a tree back first. Just as Naruto was about to recover, Danzo threw multiple wind blades at him which sliced up Naruto's arms while some stabbed deep into his chest.
"Shit, Kurama."
"Yah, yah, I got it; I'm on healing duty…pathetic hairless ape."
"Love you too fuzz ball!"Naruto sarcastically replied back while panting and watching Danzo get closer with a lecherous grin on his face.
"Now, let's just see who is under that mask."
Danzo reaches for the mask but when he touches it, seals activate shocking him. The War Hawk screams in agony as 100,000 volts course through his body then goes flying into a nearby tree. Much to Naruto's dismay, the man somehow survived. Naruto sunk into the shadows, silently working his way to Danzo.
Speaking of the mummy, he shakes his head to recover but his vision is slightly blurry; that is when he is kicked off the branch and slams into the concrete floor below breaking one of his shoulders. Still on the ground, Danzo summons Baku; an elephant, snuffleupagus looking creature.
"Baku, you know what to do."
Baku roars out and opens his mouth proceeding to suck everything in the vicinity towards his maw; Naruto saw this and tried to go against it but the force was too great. Soon, he is off his feet and flying toward Baku's mouth, he thinks one last thing before being eaten.
"This is just not my day."
With the Konoha Forces
Once the Clans entered, with various Konoha ANBU, Chunin, and Jounin behind them, they were met with heavy resistance. Much to everyone's dismay, trying to save them was out of the question as their loyalty to Danzo, thanks to his seals, was uncanny. The Konoha Shinobi steeled their hearts though and did what many would be unthinkable; killing their own potential comrades. The fighting was brutal and that was putting it lightly. The ROOT agents used ninja-to, taijutsu, and potent jutsu meant to work in confined spaces like the base they were in which gave them a slight advantage. Even though the fighting was cramped, the Konoha Shinobi prevailed onwards and showed their strength like they did in the past three Shinobi wars. For two clans however there was a reunion to be had.
Shibi and Inoichi were fighting back to back, one was using their bugs to strip an attacker of their chakra or rend the flesh from their bones; the other was making agents attack each other. At times they had to resort to taijutsu while dodging the occasional swing of a ninja-to but all in all the two clan heads proved their worth. That was until two familiar voices entered the fray.
"Fu?" Inoichi questioned with Shibi doing the same to seeing a familiar face.
"Torune?"
"You are trespassing-." Fu starts with Torune finishing.
"Leave or be killed."
"Fu, snap out of it! Don't make me have to kill one of my clan members."
Shibi looks at Inoichi, "The seals are making them loyal to Danzo my friend, it would be illogical to try and convince them otherwise."
No words are said and Torune covers his body with nano-insects making his body turn purple while Fu tries to gain control of Inoichi's mind. Said Yamanka counters the technique and both rush in with an intense taijutsu bout with Torune doing the same.
Shibi ducks underneath punches and jumps over kicks knowing that getting hit could be fatal as his hive said the insects covering Torune were highly toxic. Eventually, Shibi gets hit by Torune's Poison Cloud Technique but dissolves into bugs signaling a Bug Clone. Appearing behind Torune, Shibi sends a torrent of his insects at him. The ROOT agent senses them coming and draws his ninja-to then use a technique all ROOT agents were trained, Assassination Technique. Using fast slashes, Shibi's cloud of bugs is decimated and soon the clan head had to double back making sure not to get hit.
"Touching Torune is out of the question, but how to defeat him?"
Shibi gets an idea, "Inoichi, Mind Transfer!"
Said clan head ducks under a punch then grabs Fu's outstretched arm and tugs forward brining his knee into Fu's solar plexus making him gag for breath. Inoichi looks over to see what Shibi wanted and instantly knew what to do.
"Mind Transfer Technique."
Torune's body suddenly stops fighting Shibi and turns towards Fu who was cursing inside. While Shibi took a short breather, he watched as the two agents went at it; Fu tried to break Inocihi's technique but Torune would stop him at any attempt. Eventually, Fu makes a mistake and gets hit in the face with a Poison Cloud. Fu suddenly backs away grabbing his throat and screams as blood pours out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth; the devastating nano-bugs doing their job. Within a minute, the Yamanka falls to the ground dead. Inoichi keeps in control, making Torune pick up Fu's ninja-to and commit suicide with a quick stab through the heart.
Inoichi ends the technique and cries silent tears with Shibi comforting him.
"This day will not be without hardship and loss my friend. Why? This is war; this is the way of Shinobi life."
With Naruto and Danzo
Naruto, from inside Baku's stomach, could hear Danzo cackling saying he has won and his plans would come to fruition.
"This is gross…yah, definitely not my day today."
Naruto puts his hands together and charges a shadow ball between them with a little of Kurama's chakra added in for destructive capabilities.
"Hope you like indigestion you piece of shit! Chaos Ball"
With this thought, Naruto slams the ball to his right which explodes with such ferocity that only bloody chunks are left of Baku; Naruto saved himself by covering himself with his Shadow Armor which was now useless thanks to the open ceiling making light shine through. Of course this explosion makes Danzo stumble back which Naruto took advantage of; taking his boot dagger he lunged forward and plunged it deep into the War Hawk's stomach over and over again.
Spewing out blood from the stomach region and mouth, Danzo blows wind out of his mouth pushing Naruto away.
"Damn you boy!" Danzo drops to the floor coughing up blood while putting a glowing green hand across his stomach healing it enough so he could fight.
"All my plans ruined because of you!"
Danzo stands up shakily and does Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves hoping to kill the person in front of him but the jutsu was far weaker than anticipated thanks to the wounded stomach. It only felt like a slight breeze to Naruto.
"What a nice breeze."
Angered, Danzo tries wind technique after technique, even using the wind blades but nothing hits Naruto making the War Hawk livid.
"Are you done putting me through an air tunnel or can I finish this?"
"Why won't you die?! Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin."
Four slabs of earth appear around Naruto which Danzo manipulates hoping to crush Naruto in-between the slabs; it does not happen as Naruto sinks into his shadow and reappears behind Danzo ready to strike the killing blow but the hidden Sharingan sees him. Danzo mule kicks Naruto making him fly to the back wall but he recovers and uses it as a springboard and starts to spin while forming his shadow blades; eventually all Danzo sees is a black, spinning blur. The War Hawk hears one thing before the attack hits as it was too fast to dodge.
"Death's Demonic Drill."
Naruto runs Danzo through the stomach wound he made earlier and lands on his hands and springs to his feet on the other side of the room. Naruto looks over to see the two halves of Danzo on the concrete floor, blood pooling around his corpse. As Naruto slowly walked up, the bisected leader of ROOT began to laugh while blood spewed from his mouth at every word he spoke.
"We will both meet the Shinigami today."
Four symbols appear on Danzo's body which shoots into the air; they soon form a black ball around Danzo's corpse and expand sucking everything in its path. Naruto's eyes widened and he quickly tried to make an exit but knew he wouldn't make it; he then remembers the clone he made and quickly switches with it.
"Thanks boss, I see how it is." The clone quips with sarcasm then pops as Danzo last jutsu explodes taking part of the base with him.
With Konoha Forces
"Eight Trigrams 128 Palms." Hiashi screamed out and ended the life of a ROOT member as the last strike made the heart explode.
Seeing a mass coming at him, Hiashi initiates his Kaiten sending the enemies flying.
"How you holding up Shikaku?"
Said man lazily replies, "This is all troublesome, so much for my nap today."
Hiashi sweat drops then watches as the Nara Clan Head uses his Shadow Sewing Technique to pierce several enemies at once making it so the ones fighting could finish them off.
"Fang Passing Fang"
Two whirlwinds shoot past Hiashi and Shikamaru slamming into oncoming enemies.
"So, can anyone join in on this party?"
In another part of the base, the Uchiha were proving their worth once again like they did in the era of the First Hokage; being saved by the Ghost of Konoha boosted their morale making them fight with ferocity. Itachi and Shisui were back to back using their katana to slice any in their way while using Amaterasu only in times of dire need.
"Reminds you of the old days huh Itachi." Shisui asks as they fight back to back blocking and stabbing while watching each other's back.
"If you mean when we took some of our first missions together," Itachi had to jump over a low slash making him pause "then yah, you could say that."
Itachi and Shisui stabbed their respective opponents at the same time making both chuckle.
"First to 20 wins!" Shishui jokes.
Itachi scoffs "Hn, I will get that in no time."
Itachi suddenly jumps in front of Shisui stabbing a rushing enemy in the throat.
"You stole my kill!"
Itachi retorts with mirth "Bite me."
The fighting lasted for another 30 minutes but in that time, the ROOT seemed to become exhausted as the fight drew on; it was like Danzo only wanted his followers at a certain level so they don't usurp his power. An explosion soon ripped through the base followed by the sound of screams; everyone looks to see the remaining ROOT members drop to the ground in pain as their seals are removed.
"What just happened?" Hiashi asks making the other clan heads shake their head not knowing as well.
One of the wounded agents near them looks at her wound and up at the three near her; she reaches a hand towards them.
"Thank you."
Is all she says before passing out leaving Hiashi, Shikaku, and Tsume baffled; the other forces encounter this as well. Soon, and ANBU member comes up and barks out orders.
"We are to help the wounded and detain the rest; the Hokage will decide what to do with them."
"And if they are parts of clans?" Hiashi questions making the ANBU shrug.
"Like I said, the Hokage will take care of that just do as ordered."
The three do not hesitate and start ordering squads around; it only took three hours to take out the entire base but for one person, this cleanout was just the beginning.
With Naruto – Danzo's Office
"Man that was close thought I would have died in there; thankfully I made that clone when I did."
"Moving into Phase Two I take it Kit?"
Naruto nods, "I have a feeling the Hokage will want to know about my change in attitude years back; though I feel as if he is hiding something."
Kurama was confused. "How can you tell, I didn't sense any negative emotions from him."
Naruto sighs "It's just a hunch Kurama."
Naruto makes multiple Shadow Clones and orders them to watch the remaining ROOT being gathered with some going to the library to look up on the Uzumaki clan. Naruto was sure Hiruzen was hiding something but he didn't know what. Making sure all the documents from Danzo were sealed away and in his possession, he left for the Hokage Office for debrief.
Hokage Office
Naruto arrives via the shadows and bows to the Hokage but notices Jirayia is present as well; silencing seals are instantly put up and the debrief began. Naruto explained his battle with Danzo but left out that he had all of his documents and plans. It took about 30 minutes but when that was done an awkward silence permeated the room before the Sandaime began to question Naruto.
"Naruto, you have done well and for that Konoha thanks you for your service so far but I digress. When you met the Kyuubi your personality shift was instantaneous; you say the fox scared you straight but I don't buy it. What are you planning Naruto?"
Naruto's facial features are hidden by the mask but inside he was wondering how to get out of this. After a brief moment he began.
"I know of my parents, I have trained and done Konoha service and THIS is how you repay me!"
Hriuzen quirks an eyebrow, "I don't understand Naruto, all I am asking is about your personality shift; the sudden change makes me wonder if you're up to something."
Naruto smirks underneath his mask, "You kept secrets from me almost my entire life so I think I will return the favor. How do you like it when the tables are turned?"
Jiraiya interrupts trying to get Naruto to confess, "We won't punish you or anything just please tell us why the sudden shift, we need to know if you're a potential threat."
Naruto makes his eyes glow red making the two flinch slightly. "I went through brutal training, I saved the Uchiha from being massacred, and lastly I just killed Danzo and helped end a civil war in Konoha…AND YOU SEE ME AS A THREAT!"
Naruto slams the area with killer intent making Jiraiya almost go to his knees with the Sandaime's eyes bulging with sweat pouring down his face. After a couple minutes Naruto releases making the tension go back to normal; before the Toad Sage or the Hokage could say anything, Naruto talked again.
"I want to know something; you two seem awfully nervous about me leaving this village and I want to know why. I trained with the best for three fucking years and your body language alone rings all the wrong bells in my mind."
Hiruzen and Jiraiya tried to hide a flinch but Naruto caught it which he made a mental note of; he also saw the Hokage reach his right hand over to a place on his desk like he was hiding something. Another note was taken.
"Naruto, we aren't hiding anything from you, please just-."
Said person interrupts with anger, "Oh not hiding anything from me, that's a laugh, like you hid my parents and why I was hated in this village. With all due respect, fuck both of you. I came here for a single debrief…one fucking debrief, and what do I get? AN INTERROGATION!"
"N…Naruto, now look-." Hiruzen stutters but Naruto keeps on going with his rant.
"No, Hokage-sama, look here. I may be an agent under your command but remember what stipulations I hold."
The Hokage sighs, "Yes, you can kill any villager that has wronged you in the past and you will not become a Shinobi of Konoha until you feel this village can be trusted like your father did when he was Hokage."
"Sensei!" Jiraiya says with shock present on his voice.
"What was I to do my student, he had me backed in a corner and was going to leave the village!"
Naruto interrupts with a clear of his throat. "This meeting has been nice and all but I must ask one last thing; what are you going to do with the ROOT agents that are still alive?"
Without hesitation, Hiruzen replies "They will be executed for treason."
Naruto, Jiraiya, and Kurama's eyes widen in shock.
"Under what grounds, what evidence!" Naruto yells out making the Hokage chuckle.
"I am sick of having ROOT around so I am solving that problem by executing the rest, no trial, no nothing; the evidence is already sent to the Daimyo so good luck taking back the verdict."
Naruto glares at the Hokage "I hope you know the insurrection you will cause by doing this…good day."
With that Naruto leaves in a Shadow Shunshin making the Hokage slump in his chair and take in a deep breath.
"I hoped my lie of executing them would get a rise out of Naruto so he would spill but it seems we trained him too well."
Jirayia growls "You ass, I was about to kill you if you were going to do that; the evidence has been sent though right?"
Hiruzen nods then looks out the window to the Hokage Monument "Do you think we did the right thing in the Second Shinobi War Jiraiya, do you think that Naruto suspects us of doing what we did."
Jiraiya shakes his head "No and we best keep it that way; how is our patient doing at the hospital?"
You mean the one that has been there for years?" Jiraiya nods, "She is fine, comatose, but fine."
"You do know if Naruto finds out, his stipulations that you agreed on will come into play; we may be Hokage and Sannin but at the roots, we are a Konoha villager."
The Hokage pales and looks at his old student with a worrisome gaze, "Let's hope it doesn't come to that my old student."
With Naruto – Danzo's Office
"The nerve of that decrepit old monkey!"
"Kit, your Hokage is an ass…can you kill him please."
"That sounds lovely and all but no; I need to enact phase two but before that we have a prison break to do in a couple days. What I do after that is going to bring joy to my face."
One of Naruto's clones in the library pops sending its information back; what it sent made Naruto confused.
"Why aren't there any books and such discussing the Uzumaki clan in the library? The clan was one of the founders of Konoha…it makes no sense. This just proves to me that someone is hiding something from me so I stay loyal to this village."
"What will bring joy to your face Kit if I might ask?"
Naruto grins "Why, killing the civilian council of course, maybe kill a couple civilians while at it; I want to see the Hokage's reaction and see his angry face when he can't pin shit on me."
Two Days Later: Council Chambers
Naruto, dressed as Oni, the clan heads, the Daimyo, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Hokage are all sitting around the table to discuss the damages and casualties from the civil war; the Marshall Law was lifted a day after the attack ended.
"Hokage-dono I received your evidence and I thank you, Oni was it, for taking care of that cockroach for us."
"It was my pleasure Daimyo-dono."
"Hokage-dono, can you read the casualty report please?"
Hiruzen nods, "Hai, Daimyo-dono. We detained about 300 ROOT members while healing another 37; casualties on their end reached well above 500 members. It would explain the discrepancies on our Shinobi roster list but I digress. Konoha forces lost was only 175; clans accounted for about half of this while the rest were Chunin and some Jounin."
The Daimyo smiled, "Damages?"
"The ROOT base was heavily damaged but the only damage to the village was the town square where Danzo used a simplified version of what Hashirama made the Konoha forests with."
Everyone's eyes widened except Jiraiya, Oni, and the Hokage.
"Pardon my interruption but being on the receiving end of that was not fun; I can see why the Wood Release is Konoha's strongest bloodline." Oni states making everyone chuckle lightly.
The Daimyo continues. "Monies for damages?"
The Hokage shakes his head "None Daimyo-dono, we have enough in our treasury."
Before anyone could continue, the ground shakes followed by the sound of an explosion; an ANBU comes bursting in.
"Pardon the intrusion Hokage-sama, Daimyo-dono, but the prison has just been sabotaged, our detainees have escaped!"
"Have you caught the culprit?" The Hokage asks in slight anger.
The ANBU signals telling everyone to wait then soon gets confirmation "Yes Hokage-sama, it was a leftover ROOT agent that escaped the attack a couple days ago. Do you want them brought in?"
The Daimyo nods "Yes, I want to hear this person's story."
The ANBU nods and shunshins out and a short while later the culprit is brought to the chambers. Before anyone could do anything the culprit suddenly trips the ANBU, breaks his chakra cuffs, takes the ANBU's issued sword and commits suicide in front of everyone in the chamber while saying his last words.
"Glory be to Danzo!"
After watching the man stab himself in the heart, the room goes silent then the Hokage barks out orders.
"I want every ANBU searching for our detainees got it, Oni…where did he go?"
The Daimyo chuckles, "I think he knows his duties too well Hokage-dono, I saw him sink into the shadows; interesting ANBU you have there."
Hiruzen can only nod as his village turns into chaos once again but cannot help but think on Naruto's last words in his office.
"Naruto, are you planning all of this, if so what is your ultimate goal?"
Before the Meeting – Danzo's Office
Naruto was back in the old ROOT base having clones fix up the place, while he was doing this though he was ready to enact Operation: Prison Break. Naruto knew this was going to be no easy task. The prison was heavily guarded by ANBU as well as many seals to detect intruders and such, among other things. How did Naruto know all this? Danzo's documents held the answer as he was paranoid that he or one of his best agents would be caught. Summoning two clones, he barks out orders.
"Dress as ROOT you two; there are extras in the armory in the base. Here are the two masks I collected a while back." Naruto hands them the masks which they put on.
"Good, now I have the map of the prison thanks to Danzo which I will give you copies of. Once you enter the prison I want you to release the prisoners that are not former ROOT agents and start a riot. While this is going on, go to your objective but on the way plant explosive tags. Once you've extracted the prisoners, bring them here and blow up the prison."
"Um boss, you would be killing innocent lives."
Naruto glares at his clone "Your point, most are criminals and this village has shit on me so a few innocent deaths wouldn't hurt."
The clone nervously laughs while the other comes up with a genius plan.
"Boss, can you make me into one of your Shade Clones. I think if I get caught while you're at the meeting would only cement your innocence in the whole prison affair."
Naruto smiles then punched the clone making it pop; his shadow then raises and forms a perfect replica of him but is nearly indestructible and acts like a blood clone in a way.
"You're mean, boss, that punch hurt." The clone rubs his nose.
"You have your orders…go; I have a meeting to get to."
Naruto puts on his Shinigami mask and chuckles to himself but then Kurama interrupts his thoughts.
"What are you going to do with all those former members of Danzo's organization; this wasn't part of the original plan."
"No it wasn't but this works out in my favor even more; once these members are rounded up I will make my own version of ROOT. I think I will call it SHADE while my agents are called Ghosts. Ghosts lurking in the shade, yes, that has a nice ring to it."
